is it possible that chili peppers may reduce the growth of prostate cancer?

Answer 1

Yes - but tomatoes are better

It's to do with the red colouration and antioxidants

Answer 2

Normal cells go through a constant process where millions die every second - a process called apoptosis - while millions more are made, to keep the numbers the same. But cancer cells avoid that process and "dodge" apoptosis by mutating or deregulating the genes that participate in programmed cell suicide. Capsaicin - the ingredient which makes jalapeno peppers hot - was seen to increase the amount of certain proteins involved in the apoptosis process. Tests showed that capsaicin triggered 80% of the cells to start the process leading to cell death. Capsaicin also reduced the amount of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein which is often produced in high quantities by prostate tumours. UK prostate experts say capsaicin could be the basis of a future drug but warned eating too many hot peppers has been linked to stomach cancer.
